About this property

West Coast Paradise - Pet Friendly - Starlink

Kakapotahi is located 30 minutes south of Hokitika, or a short 10-minute drive from the Ross township on the West Coast of the South Island.

Relax and unwind in this truly amazing piece of West Coast Paradise or base yourself here while you enjoy all the activities that the West Coast has to offer.

The Kakapotahi and Waitaha rivers run along the back of our property and there is access via a short walking track at the rear of the property.

The beach and mouth of the Waitaha river is less that 3km away further down Beach Rd, an easy flat walk or a drive.

We have wifi (Starlink) available for our guest. Due to our remote location cell coverage is poor at the property, but available close by.

Dogs welcome with prior approval.
